This question is asked to every person who moves from India to USA, at many stages of such a person's life and by many people in their life. The old and repetitive question. You would hear it time in and again.
My answer - I wish USA was near to India .. like Singapore/ Dubai ... so I can come to India whenever I want.. but I would not live in India, just come for a vacation.
Reason -
Pros of living in the states
- Land of opportunity - career, job, studying, etc
- Land of freedom - independence
- Cleanliness at its max - roads
- Land of variety - food and entertainment
Cons of living in USA
- How much ever you try to celebrate your hometown celebration here in USA, it won't match with that of India
- You miss almost all events - weddings, coz of the traveling distance, flights costs, short vacation periods, and jet lag
Pros of living in India
- Rich in festivals
- Heavy Spices n food
- Colorful clothes
- Family is there
- And so is events, never ending lists of celebrations- weddings, birthdays, baby showers, etc
Cons of living in India
- High heat
- Traffic and pollution
- Mosquitoes
- Dirt
- Corruption
Other miscellaneous differences are
- Easier to cook in US but more tastier food in India
- Comfortable clothes in US whereas beautiful dresses in India
- Simple outlook homes (in terms of layout and home decor) vs architectural unique homes in India
- Friends are family in US and family are friends in India
- Independent lives (each one car) prominently in US whereas multiple transport options in India
- Store and eat - US, Cook fresh daily - India
- Variety of restaurants- US, street food craze - India
- India Vacation - US, temple tour vacation - India
- Studies full of options - US, studies full importance - India
